From Miami to every corner of Miami-Dade County, families rely on us for local transport and low cost cremation, at one published price that does not change by county.
More than half of Miami-Dade’s residents were born outside the United States, and the county is the most linguistically and religiously varied place we serve. Cremation is chosen here for the same reason it is chosen everywhere, cost and simplicity, but the conversation around it is different in Hialeah than in Kendall. Our staff answers in Spanish as a matter of course, not as an accommodation.
The same price and the same inclusions everywhere we serve. It does not go up because of where you live or how far we have to drive.
Under hospice care: call your hospice nurse first, then call us, and tell the nurse your loved one is entrusted to Simple Affordable Cremations. We coordinate directly with the hospices serving Miami-Dade County.
Not under hospice care: call 911 before calling us. Once officials give their release, we take your loved one into our care.
At a hospital or nursing facility: call us and name Simple Affordable Cremations as your funeral establishment. The facility handles the rest with us directly.
Yes. Miami-Dade County is inside our regular Florida service area, including Miami, Hialeah, Miami Beach, Kendall and Homestead. Transport is dispatched to the place of death anywhere in the county, and the phone is answered 24 hours a day at (239) 207-0390.
Our service fee is $1,095, the same in every county we serve. It covers transport into our care, sheltering, all permits and filings, the cremation itself, a temporary container named for your loved one, and the return of the cremated remains to your family in person. Three things sit outside it: certified death certificate copies at the Miami-Dade County rate, the alternative cremation container Florida law requires, and a medical examiner fee if Miami-Dade County charges one. All of them appear on your written price before you authorize anything.
No. Authorizations are signed electronically and every arrangement can be made by telephone and email, whichever state or country you are calling from. A large share of the families we serve in Miami-Dade County are calling from somewhere else entirely.
Transport is usually dispatched while you are still on the telephone. How long the drive takes depends on where in Miami-Dade County you are, and we will give you an honest estimate rather than a reassuring one.
Florida requires a mandatory waiting period before a cremation, and the medical examiner must authorize it, so most cremations happen within three to seven days of the first call. The variable is how quickly the death certificate is signed and authorized, not anything on our side.
A member of our staff, not an answering service. Whether you are calling from Miami or from another country, a licensed funeral director picks up. Deaths do not keep business hours and neither do we.
A licensed funeral director will call you back. For an immediate need, calling is faster and someone will answer.
